Tired Today, But A Good Sunday

Man...
My workout was really hard this morning for some reason.

I did a 3 mile run and then an unenthusiastic leg workout. I don't know why I felt so blah.
When I got home I weighed myself and I was 4 pounds lighter.
What I am guessing is that I either didn't eat enough this past weekend, and/or I drank too much coffee over the weekend and got a little dehydrated. I'm still pretty zonked, but I'm sure the energy will come back when I get some more food in me.
I should try that Green Goodness stuff that MauritaMason was telling me about, a fruit and vegetable concoction that will fill you with happy happy energy and joy.
Today seems like a perfect day to try it.


Yesterday afternoon, we took the top off the Jeep, packed up a lunch and our cameras, and rolled out to Brenham, about 90 miles away. We got some cool shots of these huge fields of Bluebonnets, the state flower, dontcha know.
Got a few good ones and had a great time even though it was a little chilly on the way back home. Allie, our Boxer, loved it. It was her first time in the Jeep... and maybe the last because she sheds all over everything, God bless her.


Here's way too many pictures of it all.

These people were trespassing. I tried to make a Citizen's Arrest, but none of them would put on the plastic handcuffs.

This is what Tristan would have preferred to do the entire time.





Allie enjoyed the Jeep ride, especially when she would hang her head over the side to let her jowls flap in the wind. HILARIOUS. It was a good day.

A Sunday Drive

Today, we're getting in the Jeep and heading out to a place called Brenham. Here there be Bluebonnets and we're going to shoot them.
I hear it's beautiul there this time of year with wild flowers blooming everywhere.

It will also be fun just driving around. The weather is perfect here today.
72 degrees and sunny.
Sorry to all you guys that are stuck inside from the snow and/or rain.
No, really.

See ya tomorrow.

Gonna Do Something

The other day, a drummer who makes videos on YouTube messaged me and asked if I would like to collaborate on a few songs.

OF COURSE I DO!

So he's gotten right to it, cut a pretty decent drum track, and sent it to me.
Man, I love the internet!
It's going to be a lot of fun recording with this guy. Hopefully I can work with it tonight, and of course you know I'll post it here.

Weekend Working And Too Much Stuff

Well, it looks like I'll be working tomorrow. While I don't exactly want to work on a Saturday, I am happy about the extra $$$. It will help finance our Roadtrip in May. It's going to be a fairly cheap experience anyway, but every little bit helps. I should probably be saving for a rainy day that is coming and already here for many, but... well, I'm 37. I may not be physically ABLE to backpack in several years... or I could be dead.
I should definitely go for it now.

Sometimes I wonder about all the material things I/we have or want. They certainly don't rule my life, but I know I think a lot about protecting them, and hanging on to the stuff that's mine. That's when I realized that "things" really can add stress to your life.
I ask myself "What things do I need, or rather, what if I take a more minimalistic approach concerning my possessions? If anything I am redundant and the "duplicate toys" I have show that clearly. Let's see if I can make a slimmed down list...

1-Laptop
1-Camera
1-Bass
1-Bass amp
1-Acoustic guitar
1-Jeep
1-Reasonably sized house
1-Pet
1-Wife
1-Child (Quantity optional within reason on this one)

See, that was easy...
OH!
What about a cell phone? Can it have internet access?
Can I have 1-iPod too?

Of COURSE you can, Philip!

Thanks, you're a real pal, Phil.

I feel less stressed already.

Here's a song about Life and the inevitability of Death by the one and only
William Shatner!
(You have to hit play yourself because I don't want to annoy everyone with the auto-play feature... all two of you.)
YOU'LL HAVE TIME
Enjoy!

A Nothing Post

What to say, what to say...

Oh. Tomorrow, I will no longer be on "Home Dispatch" so that means I'll be driving into the office every morning like all the other good employees.

Driving my Jeep more is going to be ok with me.
I need to do something about the sound system though. It's a little wimpy at the moment with the stock cd played and paper speakers. I will definitely be getting a new head unit, speakers, sub, and amp before our road trip in May. I want to get one with an iPod connection too.
Sooner rather than later I hope.

The weather has been kind of bad this week so I may work this weekend. I'm ok with that.

Oh, watched the movie Rescue Dawn today. Pretty cool, and a little disturbing.


Ok, gotta hit the sack. 'Night
